World Battlefronts: BATTLE OF BERLIN: Dayosh Berlin!

Through the smoke of fires set by
R.A.F. and U.S. bombers, overcrowded Berlin could see the lightning and
hear the thunder of Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov's First White Russian Army
guns. They were trained, as Berlin knew, on the ancient fortress of
Küstrin and five-times-stormed Frankfurt, the last two strongholds on
the direct road to Berlin. Red Army soldiers, locked in a mighty tank
and infantry battle in the "Oder quadrilateral" (the big bend in the
river near Frankfurt), could see the pall of smoke that hung over
Berlin.
